Well it just doesn't make sense to me. If I were to clone the repo for example or receive the code in some other way, then I've never entered into any sort of contract or legal relationship with this company yet they're suddenly asserting all sorts of control and limits on my rights (far beyond cppyright law).
- kemitchell 8y ago> (far beyond copyright law) I don't know your jurisdiction, but in the US, this isn't just a matter of copyright law, and copyright law itself has developed to support rules about use in license terms. Many old open source licenses came from legal activists who opposed the application of contract law to public license terms and conditions or restrictions on use under license, for whatever reason. Overall, US law hasn't gone their way.
